"Muslim world requires to be unite to counter our common enemy, United States, Israel, India nexus and the Muslim world unites to deal with this ." Pakistani Senate Chairman, Raza Rabbani said.

Rabbani who was leading a delegation of Pakistani senators at the 13th session of Parliamentary Union of Islamic Countries (PUIC) in Iran also stated, “there is a changing world scenario in which a nexus among the US, Israeli and India is emerging and the Ummah [Muslim world] needs unity to deal with this because today it is Pakistan and Iran tomorrow it can be any other country.”according to Pakistan today.

He further said that Pakistan strongly opposes the United States attempt to alter the legal and historical status of Al Quds Al Sharif and the decision is a flagrant violation of international law and United Nations (UN) Security Council resolutions and added that Pakistan also condemns the decision to derail Middle East Peace Process in a region that is already volatile and embroiled in controversy.

“This move not only defies the rule of law and international norms but also reinforces the hegemonic and belligerent “might is right” policies in international politics,” he observed.

The chairman opined that there is a dire need to make both the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Parliamentary Union of the OIC Member States (PUIC) pro-active in their responses to threats and trials faced by the Muslim world, and that Pakistan is already playing a vital role in eradicating the tide of extremism and anarchy.

“We must resolve and rise above divisive conflicts be it sectarian, ideological or communal” he observed.

“Pakistan has borne the brunt of the war on terror for over one and a half decade. Thousands of Pakistanis, military personnel, as well as civilians, have lost their lives and almost as many have been maimed and wounded,” he maintained.

Rabbani said that PUIC is a step forward for increased mutually-beneficial integration within the Muslim world as it aims to “strengthen contacts, cooperation and coordination between the various Muslim countries’ parliamentary, governmental and non-governmental organisations, with the aim of advancing common objectives”.

He concluded by saying that the Muslim world has not pushed to their maximum potential of progress and added that atrocities being perpetrated against Muslims in different parts of the world, particularly Palestine, Kashmir and Burma and unrest in Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq are a matter of grave concern and a collective challenge.

“We must not let a handful of extremists and transnational terrorists malign Islam for their vested interests,” he reiterated.
